After the Trolls getting beaten to a pulp in Hardcore I took on Legion at 35pts Steamroller. I always have problems against Cryx and even worse ones against Legion. I took my favourite Karchev tier 4 list and faced Saeryn across the table.
The game started fine with Karchev merrily towing his ‘jacks across the board. The slippery Legion were careful to avoid a confrontation in the centre of the board and Karchev was forced into slinging the ‘jacks into the right flank a little earlier than I would have liked. This resulted in no Unearthly rage and little chance of knocking the Legion beasts for six.
When the Legion retaliated Karchev was hosed down by Typhoon and a combined attack of Saeryn’s magic with disengaging Raek and Angelius was enough to take the big guy down.
It was something of a shock when the Raek and Angelius sneaked away and in hindsight a lock power attack might have allowed me to keep the in place. Worth remembering for the future.
So, not a good Sunday nights gaming, although there were important lessons to learn.
